Montreal Hotels

Enjoy a global experience without leaving North America in Montreal, the largest city in Quebec and the second-largest city in Canada. With diverse cultural influences anchored in French but including residents of Italian, Irish, Asian, Arabic, African and other ethnicities, it is a city unlike any other in the world, with 18th century buildings, famous international festivals, inventive modern restaurants and distinctive contributions to local and global culture. Though it may seem daunting to first-time visitors as well as those returning, it is easy to find the perfect hotel to fit the purposes of your stay.

Things to SeeDowntown Montreal is a cultural paradise boasting some of Canada's best museums, galleries, and performance spaces. Rembrandts, Renoirs, and Picassos sit alongside the works of Canada's finest artists at the Musée des Beaux-Arts. Tourists can learn about natural history at Redpath Museum or about Canada's origins at Musée McCord. The Montreal Symphony Orchestra, the Opera de Montréal, and the Les Grands Ballets Canadiens all perform at Place des Arts.

Historic Vieux Montréal, or Old Montreal, shows another side to the city. Stroll down its cobblestone streets or enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of its waterside restaurants if you need to adjust the speed Montreal's pace.

Music lovers flock to Montreal during the summer to celebrate International de Jazz de Montréal, one of the world’s most revered jazz festivals and the city's biggest party. Book your hotel months in advance if you plan to attend Montreal Jazz Festival, as the best hotels fill quickly for this event. The city becomes quieter in April and May, after the end of the NHL season but just before tourist season begins. Local secrets like the Montreal St. Patrick's Day Parade and the Vue sur la Relève Festival, a multidisciplinary performing arts event, keep visitors entertained as they travel during the low season.

Hotels in MontrealDowntown Montreal hotels include recognizable chain resorts as well as a number of affordably elegant hostels in the downtown area, conveniently located within walking distance of key landmarks and attractions. These range from budget-friendly to five-star establishments. For a unique or unusual room, book one of the quirky inns, known as “auberges,” or boutique hotels outside the city center.

Where to StayDeciding where to stay in Montreal depends largely on your preferences and tastes. If you love the excitement of a big city, you'll adore the downtown area’s towering skyscrapers, high-class hotels, and contemporary restaurants. If you like old-world charm, you’ll likely prefer the auberges, boutique hotels, and bed and breakfasts, found in Vieux-Montréal and The Plateau. Hotels in the city center put the best attractions close to your door, while hotel options on islands Ile Sainte-Hélène and Ile Notre-Dame allow you to escape the activity of the city’s downtown district for a quiet, relaxing getaway. The Jean-Drapeau Metro station on the Yellow Line connects these islands to the rest of Montreal.

How to Get to MontrealAir travelers touch down at the Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) in Dorval, 12 minutes from the heart of the city. It's the busiest airport in Quebec and a destination for flights arriving from all over North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

The 747 Express Bus runs between the airport and Gare d'autocars de Montréal, which is the bus terminal in the Montreal city center connecting to the Montreal Metro system at the Berri-UQAM station. The bus operates 24 hours a day and seven days a week, and the journey takes between 45 minutes and an hour, depending on traffic. The $10 CAD fare entitles you to 24 hours of unlimited travel through the city's Société de transport de Montréal bus and Metro network. Alternately, a cab from the airport to downtown Montréal costs about $40 CAD.

Montreal is a large city, but you should be able to discover the neighborhood around your hotel on foot. Cars are rarely driven on the islands, but Montreal has an efficient public transport network of Metro and bus lines that make it easy to explore further afield.

Staff at reception was very efficent and very patient and responsive to all are inquiries.[Less]

The BEST PERSONALIZED Guest Experience

From the Hello to the Goodbye, you can't find a better personalized guest experience thanks to Annie and the entire team at Montreal Centreville Holiday Inn.
The motto must be service, service,[More]
service! My room was ready, my ambiance assured, especially since it had been renovated beautifully, allowing full use of the balcony again.
This year a daughter accompanied me and she was thrilled with the pool for fish (part of the charm of this hotel decor) as well as for people. She was so pleased with her swim experience, she contacted me visually by phone to let me see how great a time she was having!
This was a wonderful as usual stay and over the past several years whether a 2 day stay or a 2 week stay, it remains the best personalized experience that beckons me back .
Thank you! [Less]

A hit, with a few misses

Overall, a great experience staying at IC Montreal, but few niggles kept it from being terrific.
We stayed June 29-July 2, over the national holiday in Canada, just before the national holiday in the[More]
United States and, the first night, it was also the women's world cup semifinal between the United States and Germany.
This meant this was an extremely busy hotel, but a hotel that seemed not quite ready for so many guests, some boisterous celebrating the USA win and some, including ourselves, celebrating their wedding anniversary, as well as Canada's birthday
This seemed to have been why our room was not cleaned/made up until after dinner on a couple of days and why the front desk staff didn't seem too concerned one of us had left a quite expensive, and quite sentimentally important, wrap in the club lounge at breakfast one morning.
On the upside, though, despite the continuing demands on what seemed to be a rather reduced number of staff, several stood out. Both concierges bent over backwards to make sure we got where we were going and certainly went well above the call to suggest some terrific sites as well.
The evening lounge staff were great fun, especially for the one of us who checked in a day before I arrived from CDG, making her evening a real treat while waiting for me to arrive the next day.
One of the bar staff, overhearing our queries to the front desk about the missing wrap and the less-than-perhaps-appropriate response we were getting from the desk, offered, as we turned somewhat disappointed from the desk, to take it upon herself to check the lost and found, which was apparently in the basement, as well as other places in hopes of finding the missing item Well done, and we are only sorry she rushed off before we could get her name.
The next morning, the lounge staff discovered the missing item, all was well and our faith in ICH restored.
The room was great, the view terrific and almost all the staff going well beyond what might be expected.
Perhpas, though, the fact we generally stay at ICH hotels in Asia, combined with the extremely busy time in Montreal, coloured our view of how attentive ICH staff members are.
No real problems, but just not quite as special a time as we had envisioned when making arrangements to spend our anniversary in Montreal. [Less]

Great Stay in Old Montreal

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Staff very helpful and efficient with early check-in. Got upgraded view room for modest additional charge. Room spacious, clean, and comfortable. Location[More]
great for accessing Palais de Congres (across street) for conference meetings, and Old Montreal including Notre Dame Cathedral just minutes walk away. Metro stations also within minutes walk. Would definitely stay here again. [Less]

Great location, good value for 2double beds

Recommended *(4/5).
Room was comfortable and spacious.
Reception is on second floor which maybe inconvenient for some (especially with children with strollers).
There are only 3 elevators to access[More]
the rooms and maybe slow at times (when all 3 are working too!)
During our stay, the escalator and the 1 elevator was broken for the first night which was a little inconvenient. (wait for elevator was like 5mins since there were only 2 working elevators)
Parking is pricy (especially considering self park is 4-5 levels below which may take a while to get to). [Less]
